I understand all angles of this, and naturally we are ALL hugely disappointed that MGS is leaving for whatever the reasons are.
Certainly the Programs that will continue to serve exsiting U.S. Players and pay affiliates for them need to be appreciated for doing that.
I’m not convinced we actually know what the real reasons for the MGS decision yet, and probably won’t until the Kentucky thing is resolved and those domains transerfered to safe haven.
That said, after carefully reading thru the two news releases above, I would like to know if anyone can confirm the following comment?
Speculation that the move may be connected with recent reports that the newly drafted UIGEA regulations were forwarded to the U.S. government’s Office of Management and Budget on October 21st have been discounted as unlikely. The proposed regulations are now open to review for sixty days and are still the subject of discussion
That would be important breaking news to me.
If I’m not mistaking, 60 days will take us past the start of the 110th Congress which I think is Jan 4th.
If that’s true, and I’m not sure people, but I think that would kill a Midnight Drop on the UIEGA Regs.
Anyone here 100% up to snuff on this???
